Chalik & Chalik Can Exercise Your Rights Under Personal Injury Laws

Our Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyers can help you build a case that proves fault, liability, and the value of your damages so we can fight for fair compensation.

Your Case Must Meet the 4 Elements of Personal Injury Liability

Florida requires that we establish your personal injury case meets these four criteria:

Duty of Care: The defendant must have owed you a legal duty of care, meaning the defendant had a duty to behave in a reasonable manner so as not to harm you. E.g., drivers have a duty to drive safely and not endanger others.
Breach of Duty: The defendant must have breached that duty of care, typically by acting negligently. E.g., a driver who speeds or operates a vehicle while drunk is acting negligently.
Causation: We must also establish that the defendant’s negligence caused your accident and injuries. In some cases, we may work with medical experts to testify that your injuries are the result of your accident and not some other cause.
Damages: We must provide evidence that you suffered damages as a result of the accident. Damages include the physical, emotional, and financial effects of your injuries.

Florida is a pure comparative negligence state

This means that while you can still seek compensation for an accident for which you are partly to blame, your partial fault will reduce your compensation by your percentage of fault. Thus, it is essential to collect all available evidence to establish the defendant’s fault.

Personal Injury Statute of Limitations In Fort Lauderdale, FL

Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injuries

is four years. This means that we must file a personal injury lawsuit within four years from the date of the accident, with few exceptions.

Your Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyer can make sure you file your case on time and meet other applicable deadlines.
